> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-9708
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: snapshots
> Affects Versions: 0.94.2
> Reporter: Jesse Anderson

>
> The output for snapshots when you enter an invalid snapshot name talks about
> "User-space table names" instead of "Snapshot names". The error message
> should say "Snapshot names can only contain...".
> Here is an example of the output:
> {noformat}
> hbase(main):001:0> snapshot 'user', 'asdf asdf'
> ERROR: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Illegal character <32> at 4.
> User-space table names can only contain 'word characters': i.e.
> [a-zA-Z_0-9-.]: asdf asdf
> Here is some help for this command:
> Take a snapshot of specified table. Examples:
> hbase> snapshot 'sourceTable', 'snapshotName'
> {noformat}
